Miranda, Bolívar and Sucre (1979)

Alfredo Boulton: Miranda, Bolívar and Sucre. Three Iconographical Studies. Caracas, Italgráfica Printing House, 1959, 105 illustrated pages.

This is the first time, iconographically speaking, Francisco de Miranda has been studied so extensively. Until 1816, year in which Miranda died, only four portraits had been made for which he had posed: the one done by Lavater, in 1788, which remained hidden until discovered by Parra Pérez in 1925; an oil painting done by Lebarbier in 1793, known to us only thanks to a copy made by the engraver Gaucher; a worn out sketch done in Barbados in the year of 1806, and the image revealed here for the first time, probably also done in 1806.
